Discover the region

Heringen (Werra) lies on the river Werra and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The town is known for its historic old town with half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th century as well as Herzberg Castle, an impressive medieval fortress on a mountain peak.

Topical tourist attractions also include Eichhof Castle with its beautiful park as well as the Heringen Town Museum, where you can learn more about the history of the region.

Cultural highlights include the annual Hessentag festival or various concerts at the Kulturhaus Dock 4 in Kassel.

For culinary delights, be sure to try local specialities such as Thuringian grilled sausage or apple wine. A visit to the weekly market in Bad Hersfeld is also worthwhile - here you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables directly from the farmer.

The best outdoor activities are mainly in summer: hiking along the Werratal cycle path or canoeing on the Werra are popular leisure activities. In winter, skiing at the nearby Rhön Mountains is a good option.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the thermal baths in Bad Hersfeld or a tour of the impressive stalactite cave in Breitenbach.

The most beautiful place to go is Heringen (Werra), Hersfeld-Rotenburg, where you can walk along the Werra and enjoy the picturesque landscape. A visit to Herzberg Castle at sunset is also an unforgettable experience.
